Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose debris. Protect surrounding areas from overspray.
Application: Shake the can well before use. Attach the applicator nozzle and dispense the foam into the cavity, filling approximately one-third of the space as it will expand.
Curing: Allow the foam to cure completely. This typically takes a few hours, but refer to the product instructions for specific curing times.
Trimming: Once cured, trim away any excess foam with a sharp knife or saw.
Compatibility: Compatible with most construction materials. Always test in an inconspicuous area first if unsure. Avoid contact with sensitive materials.
Care: Store the can upright in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures. Clean the nozzle after each use to prevent clogging.
